The Demon Sect's Number One Assassin? The Qingyun Sect Leader Appears!

"Clang--"

A crisp sword cry echoed across the mountain peak.

Brilliant azure sword light sliced through the clouds and mist. The Tianya Divine Sword was instantly unsheathed, hovering in the air before Lu Xueqi, blocking the fatal blow before her.

"Bang!"

A cone pierced through the air, attacking.

Immediately after, A tremendous force arrived.

Lu Xueqi's delicate body trembled slightly.

Her face was a little pale, and her slender form retreated repeatedly. Her gaze was somewhat wary as she looked forward.

"Whoosh--"

The dreamlike clouds and mist dispersed.

Several figures emerged from the darkness.

They wore strange uniforms, and cold light flickered in their eyes. The person at the forefront held a 'Li Ren Cone', and the fatal blow just now had been unleashed by him...

Lu Xueqi's eyes narrowed slightly.

She looked warily at the group before her, her heart immediately understanding their identity. After all, this group was enveloped in a dense black mist.

It was basically like they had 'I am a Demonic Cult Fiend' written on their faces.

But, What Lu Xueqi couldn't understand was—why would Demonic Cult Fiends suddenly appear at the Qingyun Sect? How did they avoid the guards at the mountain gate and silently infiltrate Little Bamboo Peak?!

At this moment.

Although her heart was filled with confusion.

It was clearly not the time to ponder carefully.

Looking ahead--

The Demonic Cult Assassin at the forefront had killing intent flashing in his eyes. His gaze was fixed on Lu Xueqi, clearly having identified his target...

He, Was coming for Lu Xueqi.

At this moment.

The cold young girl's heart tightened slightly.

She immediately understood that the information exposed in the Heavenly Curtain must have made the Demonic Cult Fiends a little anxious, which was why they chose to infiltrate the Qingyun Sect to assassinate her.

After all--

Her future self indeed posed a great threat to the Demonic Cult.

Number One Female Sword Immortal Under Heaven!

Cultivation at the Peak of Supreme Purity!

These two titles alone were enough to make many people wary!

"Swish!"

Lu Xueqi's eyes flickered slightly.

She held Tianya and stood at the edge of the Moon Gazing Platform.

All escape routes around her had been blocked by several Demonic Cult Fiends, and this location was also quite far from where the disciples of Little Bamboo Peak rested. Minor skirmishes could not spread out...

In other words.

She had no support in a short period.

Thinking this.

The cold young girl's heart felt heavy.

The Demonic Cult Assassins before her clearly understood this as well.

Therefore, they did their best to surround all of Lu Xueqi's escape routes while also preventing her from causing too much commotion and attracting the attention of the Little Bamboo Peak disciples, or even the Head...

"Attack!"

The leading assassin said coldly.

As soon as the words fell.

The surrounding Demonic Cult Assassins suddenly erupted.

Their figures almost merged into the darkness, like born assassins, their sharp attacks aimed directly at vital points.

"Clang--"

Lu Xueqi calmly resisted with her sword.

She held the Tianya Divine Sword and first repelled the two assassins in front of her, then faced several other assassins. The brilliant sword light made her slender figure appear exquisitely beautiful, making people linger and forget to return...

It's a pity.

No matter how high Lu Xueqi's cultivation was.

Her actual combat experience was still a bit low.

Even when facing several Demonic Cult Assassins whose cultivation was lower than hers, she eventually began to fall into a disadvantage.

"As expected of the future Number One Female Sword Immortal Under Heaven!"

"Even at such a young age?"

"Your cultivation is enough to make us wary!"

Just then.

A cold voice sounded.

The leading assassin instantly leaped up, silently arriving not far behind Lu Xueqi. A Li Ren Cone suddenly broke through the air, rapidly piercing towards her heart.

Lu Xueqi's expression changed slightly.

She quickly reacted, raising her sword to block horizontally.

But--

The attacks from other assassins followed in succession.

Even though Lu Xueqi blocked the Li Ren Cone from behind, the magical treasures from the other assassins in front still struck her.

"Pfft--"

The aloof maiden spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her figure suddenly flew backward, her face extremely pale, and even the Tianya Divine Sword became somewhat dim and lusterless.

'Am I going to die...'

Lu Xueqi's stunningly beautiful face was incredibly pale.

A wisp of the evening breeze gently blew past, lifting a strand of hair by her cheek, making her appear much more fragile.

Her white dress stained with blood, her figure slender.

The aloof maiden gritted her teeth tightly.

She gripped the Tianya Divine Sword with trembling hands, her swaying figure barely managing to stand steady, but soon...

Her vision went black.

Her delicate figure seemed as though it would collapse at the slightest breeze, her long eyelashes trembling gently as if she were about to drift into unconsciousness.

At this moment.

Lu Xueqi felt that she was truly going to die.

She used every ounce of her strength to force her eyes open.

She looked ahead.

But...

To her surprise—

The few Demonic Cult Assassins not far away did not continue to advance. They held their magic treasures, looking toward a spot not far ahead as if facing a formidable enemy, as if some terrifying existence had appeared there...

"The Demonic Cult's Number One Assassin."

"Longevity Hall—"

"Zhou Yin?!"

In a daze, Lu Xueqi heard an indifferent voice.

She struggled to turn her head.

To her shock, she discovered that standing atop the giant boulder behind her was a Green-robed Figure.

He wore a dashing green robe, his posture upright, black hair draped over his shoulders. His handsome features were half-hidden by a straw hat, revealing only a jawline as sharp as if carved by a blade.

At this moment.

Lu Xueqi could no longer hold on.

Her slender frame swayed, and she suddenly collapsed forward, falling into a coma...

At the moment she lost consciousness.

She vaguely felt herself being encircled by a pair of strong, powerful arms, and she immediately fell into a warm embrace; the heat of his chest brought an unusual sense of peace.

Lu Xueqi's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Before she lost consciousness completely.

She lifted her gaze.

She saw that the Green-robed Youth had already pulled her into his arms, his deep eyes sharp and peerless, holding a trace of heartache and a dense, overwhelming killing intent...

He, Is he worried about me?

Lu Xueqi completely fainted.

At this moment.

Ye Changfeng looked at the cold, elegant girl in his arms.

His expression was exceptionally indifferent. His gaze fell upon the Demonic Cult Assassins not far away, and he said in a detached tone:

"You..."

"How do you want to die!?"

After speaking.

He calmly grasped Tian Ya beside him.

"Clang--"

In an instant, sword energy filled the heavens and earth!

The crisp sound of the sword echoed throughout Little Bamboo Peak. Invisible sword energy permeated the entire Moon Gazing Platform, and brilliant sword light sliced through the sky, eliminating any possibility of escape for everyone.

At this moment.

The expressions of the Demonic Cult Assassins, including Zhou Yin, changed drastically.

They looked at Ye Changfeng before them.

They immediately understood his identity.

Such young age, dressed in a blue robe, and terrifying sword cultivation;

"You are..."

"The Azure Cloud Sect Leader!?"

Zhou Yin, as if facing a great enemy, summoned his magical artifact, the Li Ren Cone.

However, Ye Changfeng did not respond to him.

Because--dead people were not worth his wasted breath.
